Chapter one hundred and eighty first strange hidden danger
Karina K Eddie listened to Levi’s explanation and did not fully believe it. She consulted several authoritative scholars in nuclear physics through internal authority.
However, the answers of these authoritative scholars are exactly the same as those of Levitra. They all say that the release of neutrons by radioactive substances is a physical law, and humans currently have no way to prevent radioactive substances from releasing neutrons.
The data is still being analyzed.
Karina K Eddie not only investigated the nuclear reactor situation, but also included the crew members on the Washington, especially those who could access the reactor, which was not missed.
They have to conduct analysis and investigation for every possible situation.
Over time, more and more evidence shows that the crew of the Washington crew did not have any intention of sabotage.
The strange 13-minute shutdown of the reactor became the focus of this accident. Even the reactor engineer Levice Ford couldn't figure out why the reactor suddenly stopped.
Karina K Eddie asked again: "Dr. Ford, is there really no way to temporarily stop radioactive substances from releasing neutrons?"
Despite the doubts, Levithford still firmly judged: "From the current technology and theory, there is no relevant technology or theory."
Scientists become stubborn and will only sneer unless they can produce real evidence. Obviously, Levith Ford thinks he is not wrong.
The investigation was in a deadlock, and the strange 13-minute shutdown drove a group of engineers and researchers crazy.
Levithford continued: "Ms. Eddie, the biggest possibility now is that there may be some defect in the reactor, which led to this accident."
Karina K Eddie asked with a frown: "Can you be sure?"
The old-fashioned Levith Ford replied: "Unless the Washington is salvaged and conducted a comprehensive analysis, we can only find existing problems by studying the black box and other aircraft carriers of the same level."
Is it that you are crazy or I am stupid? Karina K Eddie complained secretly.
At the seabed more than 3,000 meters deep, I went to catch a steel warship worth more than 100,000 tons, and the ship was leaking nuclear.
Not only is it very technically difficult, but it is also difficult to determine the help of the investigation.
The super high water pressure at the bottom of the sea has already destroyed many things inside the Washington. Who knows what will be obtained after spending more than one billion US dollars to catch them?
"Then use the black box and the aircraft carrier of the same level to investigate and find out the problem of the reactor as soon as possible." Karina K Eddie ordered.
"Understand, this is also a question I want to know."
...
On the other side.
The salvage work of the Los Angeles black box was very difficult.
The Los Angeles fell into the seabed crack, and after the seabed crack was collided, it collapsed.
Burying the Los Angeles deep, the only thing exposed outside the rocks and sand is the reactor and power system at the tail.
The terrible nuclear leak seriously interfered with the work of scientific research submarines, and basically the black box at the tail could no longer be removed.
The cockpit and the black box on the head were flooded with rocks, and scientific research submarines could not carry out too much engineering operations on the seabed.
Simon Manhattan said helplessly: "Stop salvage work!"
Willard, who was standing by, looked disappointed. Although some problems had been investigated in the local area, it was initially determined that there were defects in the nuclear reactor, which led to the sudden outage of the fire.
But Willard's responsibility is still unavoidable. After all, the reactor failure is at most a matter of causing the Washington and Los Angeles to hang up.
However, it is human responsibility to collide and sink directly when they collide.
Willard, who was taken away by the military police to investigate, probably his future is over.
Simon Manhattan stood on the deck and looked at the sunset in the distance. The sparkling golden sea brought the last trace of heat to this blue deep sea.
The water in the Pacific Ocean is too deep, and the wind and waves are surging, and the invisible undercurrents are surging, which is so upsetting that it makes people feel upset.
Suddenly, a black suit appeared behind him and said in a low voice and hurried voice: "Director Simon, something is wrong with the Gulf of Aden."
Simon Manhattan's eyes changed: "What's wrong?"
"The Lincoln had a 67-second reactor shutdown at around 10 o'clock this morning."
"What" Simon Manhattan was shocked. The Lincoln and Washington are both Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and are also one of the 10 Nimitz-class ships currently in service.
Now that the Washington is sank, the Enterprise is a training ship, and there are only 9 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers that can be mobilized.
If there is another problem with the Lincoln, there will be no motorized aircraft carriers in the defense areas in various places.
Yesterday, the Third Fleet sent the Reagan temporarily to the Seventh Fleet for support from the base in San Francisco.
"Is the fault serious?" Simon Manhattan asked nervously.
"The impact is not great, but just in case, I have returned to Hong Kong for inspection."
Simon Manhattan, who was silent, couldn't help but think about whether there was a safety hazard for the Nimitz-class reactor.
But why hasn't it happened for so many years before, and it has had two failures in less than a month?
At the same time, the Pentagon also attaches great importance to this matter.
The companies responsible for designing and building the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, as well as designer engineers, were ordered to fully inspect the nine Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in service.
If you don’t check it, you can deal with it if you suddenly shut down the engine during normal sailing. If you encounter an emergency and fall off at critical moments, you will be over.
Even the Reagan, who had just sailed for two days, was ordered to return to the base in San Francisco for a comprehensive inspection.
Newport, Virginia.
Newport News Shipbuilding and Docking Company is a Nimitz-class design and construction company. Engineer Levith Ford just returned to the company and was called into the office by the president.
"Dr. Ford, look at this." President Johnny George handed over a document.
Levitra Ford took the document and frowned: "It's another strange automatic fire out phenomenon."
"Yes, we're in trouble." Johnny George said with a headache.
“What is the Pentagon’s opinion?”
Johnny George gripped his hair and complained: "We need to eliminate the reactor risks within a month, otherwise we will have to claim compensation from the company. Doctor, you know, we can't compensate that much money, and the company will go bankrupt directly."
"One month is too short, we need at least half a year."
"I try to delay time. Doctor, you can take the engineer to the Gulf of Aden as soon as possible. You must find out the cause of the Lincoln reactor failure."
"..." Levitra Ford looked at the tired president and could only nod helplessly.
However, they did not know that this comprehensive investigation would be ineffective.
However, the neutrino ghost deep in the Qinling Mountains is occasionally preparing to trip them up on the other side of the Blue Star to ensure that they are dying of ecstasy.
It’s just that the launch shield is not too dense. After one or two months, these nuclear-powered aircraft carriers will definitely make the other party unable to sleep or eat all day long.
As for the possibility of exposure, it is actually not very high.
Because neutrinos are notoriously difficult to detect, the possibility of finding problems is slim without knowing that they are neutrino shielding.
On the contrary, the Netherworld has increased its internal confidentiality efforts to ensure that there will be no leaks in a short period of time.
